His areas of focus in gardening include the coastal sage scrub habitat and other plants that grow well in the sandy soils of San Francisco.
Bobby Nabili became a UC Master Gardener in 2024 driven by his passion for nature and desire to educate the public about sustainable gardening practices.

After establishing a successful pollinator garden in his driveway, he is now planning a native garden at his home garden in Redwood City.
